"Can you please save those elves who are locked up in the cellar?" Anna pleaded with Meg with her bright eyes.
"Hmm?" Meg was just about to tell the two little ones a story to coax them to sleep when he heard this.
"They're all locked up in metal cages. The cellar is dark and gloomy, and there's nothing to eat or drink. Grandpa said that if we don't save them, many of them will die." Anna wore a sympathetic expression as she looked at Meg with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Father, please save them. They're so pitiful." Amy also looked at Meg with wide eyes as she pleaded with him.
Meg was struck by the sight of the two adorable little elves acting coquettishly. A surge of blood suddenly welled up in his heart. Those human traffickers who targeted elves deserved to be sliced into a thousand pieces.
Who knew how many elves were being tortured in that dark cellar? God knew how long it would take for the Gray Temple to send people to search for that stronghold. If those people lost their leader and became desperate, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Meg could still vividly remember the scene of Joshua dying in front of him. That was just an old elf on the brink of death, but he had the courage and determination to die in a fit of rage.
After coming to this world, Meg had sensed the severity of the mess left behind by Meg Alex, as well as the power of those enemies lurking in the dark. As such, Meg restrained his vicious nature and tried to keep a low profile. He even forgot what hot-bloodedness was, and only thought about how to hide his identity and protect Amy from harm. He didn't want to get too involved in anything else.
However, as he looked into Amy and Anna's clear eyes, a hint of guilt welled up in his heart.
From the beginning to the end, he deliberately avoided this topic with Anna. Other than not wanting to make Anna sad, perhaps there was another reason that he didn't want to know too much. If he knew too much, he would feel ashamed if he didn't do anything.
Yes, he seemed to have forgotten what kind of person he was.
He wasn't Meg Shen, because Meg Shen had always been straightforward with his words. Occasionally, he would even be a little hot-blooded.
He had a poisonous tongue, but most of the time, he hit the nail on the head. Those restaurants closed down not because of his poisonous tongue, but because there was indeed a problem. Even more restaurants became popular on the internet after being despised by him. This was because other than their shortcomings, their strengths were not ignored by him.
He was also not Meg Alex, because Alex always spoke with his sword. If there was injustice in the world, he would settle it with his sword.
Those who died under his sword included evil knights, man-eating demons, and evil dragons that attacked villages. As long as he heard about evil people that others couldn't kill, the purple-striped griffin would descend on their heads and cut off their heads with a single slash.
But now, he had placed heavy shackles on himself. He had lost his purity and hot-bloodedness. He had also lost the bravery and sacrifice of a knight. He had become a commoner that he used to look down on.
A father like this shouldn't be the kind of father that Amy wants and likes, right? If he only thinks about running away from problems instead of solving them, how can he be a good father and take care of a family? Meg murmured to himself in his heart. One question after another struck his soul, and a thought suddenly appeared in the depths of his mind. Meg's eyes also lit up again. "Perhaps it's time to make some changes …"
"Anna, do you know where that place is? If I ask you to take us there now, can you tell me the way? "Meg took a deep breath as he looked at Anna.
"Mm-hm, I remember where it is. Grandpa said that we left Chaos City from the northern part of the city, and then we went all the way down. We passed by a small river, and followed the river …" Anna immediately sat up, and looked at Meg with a serious expression as she recounted the route.
"Alright, then we'll go and save them in a while." Meg looked at Anna, who was reciting the route in a clear and organized manner. It clearly wouldn't be a problem for them to find that base again.
"Really?!" Anna's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at Meg with excitement in her eyes.
"I knew Father would agree to it! Because Father is a true hero! "Amy also sat up, and looked at Meg with elation in her eyes.
Ugly Duckling, who was sandwiched between them, looked around with a confused expression. It had fallen asleep as soon as it lay down on the bed, and had no idea what had happened.
"You two play upstairs for a while; I'll go and make some preparations." Meg was also very happy at the sight of Amy's elated smile and sparkling eyes. He then turned and walked toward the door as he murmured to himself, "There's still some dough left, and there's still a lot of braised meat left …"
Half an hour later, Meg pushed the bicycle out of the restaurant, and carried Amy, who had changed into a magician's robe, to the basket in front of the bicycle. He then carried the curious Anna, who had also changed into a blue magician's robe, to the backseat of the bicycle, and locked the door. He carried a large food container in his hand, and got onto the bicycle.
"Let's go!" Amy yelled with elation as she raised her hands high into the air.
Meg smiled as he stepped hard on the pedals, and the bicycle immediately sped forward.
Anna was initially quite curious, but she looked down at the rapidly rolling wheels beneath her. Such a fast bicycle was only supported by two small wheels, and she reflexively grabbed onto Meg's clothes and closed her eyes, not daring to look.
Amy, who was trying to sit in the basket for the first time, was giggling with elation.
"Don't be scared, this is a bicycle; you won't fall." Meg felt his clothes tighten around his stomach, and he comforted her in a gentle voice.
Anna was struck by an inexplicable sense of relief upon hearing Meg's words, and she did indeed feel very safe sitting there. The refreshing autumn breeze blew against her face, and she could hear Amy's elated laughter. She hesitated momentarily before slowly opening her eyes. The trees beside her were flying past quickly, and it was rather similar to riding a horse, but it was much steadier. It was a very peculiar feeling, but she still didn't let go of Meg's clothes.
The bicycle passed through the streets of Chaos City, and there weren't many pedestrians left on the streets. All that was left was a string of gurgling sounds and dumbstruck expressions on the faces of the drunken pedestrians.
The bicycle stopped outside a courtyard in a residential area in the northern part of the city. Meg alighted, and carried Amy and Anna off the bicycle.
"Father, aren't we going to save those elves? Why are we here? "Amy looked at the courtyard with a perplexed expression.
Anna was also looking at Meg with a peculiar expression, but she didn't say anything.
